Hand Surgery (Carpal and Tendon Release): Medical Solutions

Hand surgery is a specialized field in surgery focused on treating nerve and tendon problems that affect hand movement and function. One of the most common issues requiring surgical intervention is nerve or tendon compression/blockage, which can cause chronic pain, numbness, weakness, and difficulty performing daily tasks.

What is Nerve and Tendon Release Hand Surgery?

Nerve and tendon release surgery aims to remove pressure or blockage on nerves and tendons within the hand or wrist, restoring normal hand movement and function. These surgeries are necessary in cases like carpal tunnel syndrome or injuries to nerves and tendons caused by accidents or repetitive strain.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Hand Surgery

• Persistent numbness or tingling in the fingers or hand

• Weakness in gripping or holding objects

• Pain radiating from the hand to the arm

• Loss of sensation in parts of the hand

• Muscle spasms or weakness around the hand

Diagnostic Methods

Specialists use clinical examinations alongside nerve conduction studies (electromyography) to locate and assess the nature of the blockage or damage.
